Hi! Thanks for sharing, that looks cool. I was wondering, have you also tried zbrush? and if yes, what differences and similarities did you find?

Cheers

first thanks for reply

and yes i have tried zbrush
mudbox is sculpting tool as i like to call it
its capable of handeling large numbers of polys same as zbrush
personaly for me its easier to use mudbox cuz zbrush is still kinda confusing for me

i havent used neither long enough to give some better review or something

Mudbox is much more clearcut. Everything is layed out in a logical manner, there's no wierd 2.5D workflow issues, multiple objects can be dealt with easily, the viewport is in actual 3d (zbrush has a perspective viewport only on the mac. Gotta wait till 2.5 for the pc). It lacks some of zbrush's nice features, mostly texturing tools and the like, but it also doesn't have all of the extra rendering junk that most sculptors who intend to render in other apps don't care about, so the interface is focused on sculpting, and sculpting only.

So clean, fast, nice.

Yeah, these are attributes I'd like to see in ZBrush. I'd like to try Mudbox, and probably would purchase it from what I've seen and heard, but being a mac user I probably won't be giving it a spin anytime soon. I also just use ZB for detailing. I don't use the painting part much, even though Zapplink is a nice feature.
